Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a compact joint for connecting a first panel and a second panel of furniture and other furnishing items.
- Various types of joints are known, such as that object of European patent application EP 930436 A1 which provides a cam element for actuating expandable gripping means or in any case, a mechanism for actuating the joint, which require holings in the panels, having a certain complexity.
- Other systems are also known for joining a panel or shelf or base or bottom of a piece of furniture and a shoulder or other panel of a piece of furniture in the furnishing industry in general. In these further examples, the joining is effected by positioning a plug screwed into a hole of the shoulder and, for example, a butt or similar constraining element inserted in a hole formed in the shelf or bottom or base of the furniture.
- In order to produce this type of joint, a hole must be made in the shelf, bottom or base of the furniture, which receives the butt or similar constraining element which, in turn, houses a grub screw in a threaded portion of the same. This hole is not very pleasing to the user, even if covered by a special cap in an attempt to restore the aesthetics of the parts involved in the junction.
- Furthermore, the presence of caps causes hindrances and obstacles for the positioning of objects on the bottom or base of the furniture, in any case being a source of disturbance for the user.
- It should also be taken into account that an actuation from above, in particular for lower joints, is not always easy, in the presence of limited spaces between shelves or minimum distances from the bottom of the furniture or rear wall of the furniture, and, as already indicated, visible holes are required which are greatly criticized by users.
- The general objective of the present invention is therefore to provide a relatively hidden joint that provides front actuation between a panel or shelf or base or bottom of a piece of furniture and a shoulder or other panel of a piece of furniture capable of solving the drawbacks of the known art mentioned above, in a simple, economical and functional manner.
- A further objective of the present invention is to provide a joint between two panels which, in addition to having a minimum visibility on the part of an observer, and therefore a high aesthetical value, can be easily accessible, even from a free area between the bottom and floor where the furniture is positioned.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide a joint between portions of vertical walls and the bottom and shelves of a piece of furniture or furnishing item, which does not create a significant encumbrance and is adjacent between a panel or shelf or base or bottom of a piece of furniture and a shoulder or other panel of a piece of furniture, even between the bottom or base and the floor.
- The above objectives are achieved by a joint produced according to the independent claim 1 and following subclaims.
- The structural and functional characteristics of the present invention and its advantages with respect to the known art will appear even more evident from the following description, referring to the enclosed schematic drawings, which show embodiment examples of the invention itself, all having the same innovative concept.
